***Must have a minimum budget of $200,000. Licensed in TN and GA.*** Karen Wanamarta is a realtor and investor who calls Tennessee home. Karen owns her own single and multifamily rental portfolio in TN and FL and is actively growing her Airbnb portfolio in the Smokies and Chattanooga. She is an active member of the Tennessee Real Estate Investors Association (REIA) and has connections with local and national wholesalers for off market deals. Born in New York and raised in Indonesia, Karen has lived in Miami, New York, Singapore, Granada, Dublin, and now Tennessee.

She loves working with first time and VA homebuyers and also specializes in out of state and international clients (80% of her clients live outside of TN).

We had the pleasure of working with Karen on the purchase of an investment property, and she exceeded our expectations every step of the way. She recommended properties with strong potential, provided financials for existing vacation rentals, and suggested value-add opportunities to increase revenue.
Karen connected us with an excellent network of professionals, including property managers, mortgage brokers, and contractors, making the entire process seamless. Her responsiveness, knowledge, and guidance made us feel like we had a true partner throughout the journey.
We highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for a skilled and supportive real estate professional. She made what could have been a stressful process smooth and successful!

Karen was such a joy to work with!!!! From her ability to evaluate properties, her knowledge of local realest and the rental market, to her incredible taste and eye for detail to help map out what needs to be renovated, SHE INSPIRES CONFIDENCE!!!! She does it all with a patient, fun style that makes the process enjoyable and less intimidating. She patiently fielded my questions and helped me process and evaluate properties. I am so extremely grateful for my experience with her and am already planning to partner with her again on a future project.

Karen was exceptional from the beginning with my home buying experience. I was looking for an investment property and she did everything she could to make sure that the property would work for my requirements. After the closing process, Karen still helped me with everything I needed to get my property rented in the Nashville area. From post recommendations to contractors, Karen worked with me every step of the way. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a home or investment property.

We had the pleasure of working with Karen, and she was absolutely fantastic throughout our home-buying journey. From the very beginning, Karen was incredibly responsive, always available to answer our questions or offer guidance, no matter the time of day. Her knowledge of the market and attention to detail made the entire process smooth and stress-free.
One of the things we appreciated most was how Karen connected us with a wonderful team of professionals to help us through every step, from the initial offer to the closing table. Whether it was mortgage brokers, inspectors, or contractors, Karen's network was top-notch, and each recommendation turned out to be a perfect fit for our needs.
We highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and professional realtor. She made what could have been a stressful process a lot easier, and we couldn't be more grateful!

Karen is an amazing real estate agent! As a first time home buyer, I felt overwhelmed but the process. But Karen acted as my advocate and helped me through every step of the way. She always had my best interests in mind. I would recommend to everyone - especially first time home buyers.

as an out of state investor i have to place an enormous amount of trust in my agent. and after working several other agents in tennessee (and other states) karen has certainly been someone i can truly depend on. shes made the acquisition process easy, has helped me trouble-shoot issues that have come up, and has been wonderfully communicative. shes been outstanding and i honestly don't want the secret to get out because shes been so fantastic but she absolutely deserves the praise.

I found Karen as an investor-friendly agent on Bigger Pockets. She is personable and willing to work with my goals. She not only helped me find a house but also connected me with a lender, contractor, and cleaner. She is highly knowledgeable, attentive and negotiates like no one can.
The most important thing for me is that I feel like she is mindful and protective of my interests.
I’m blessed to have her as my agent. I’m pretty sure you would feel the same way if you work with her.
